Frequently Asked Questions

Out of State Cases

Q:Why does my order have to be registered out of state?

A: Once we have exhausted all enforcement measures available to use in California, we will request the other state enforce an order on our/your behalf. In order to enforce our California order in another state, the other state must first "register" the California order to make it an enforceable order in their state. This allows them to use various enforcement tools such as service of Notice to Withhold and Health Insurance Coverage Assignment, liens on assets and interception of Unemployment or Disability benefits.
